Is This The Only ZZ Top Album You Will Ever Need ?

[Dave Lewis]

I’ve got multiple original LPs CDs and Vinyl & CD Box Sets but still only gravitate to this outstanding Greatest Hits album when I need a ZZTop Fix

Looks like it's missing the whole pre-Deguello era, except for a couple of tracks, and those two are the god-awful six-pack remixes.

No thanks.

I sure have played that greatest hits album a lot. I am not sure it is all the ZZ TOP you will ever need but it has a lot of good songs on it.

 

[Frankencat]

No.

 

[PLX]

No.

You might get by with Tres Hombres, Deguello, Eliminator and Greatest Hits but there are many more killer ZZ Top records and tunes in the catalog.

True. No one ever lets a good friend Greatest Hits legendary bands/artists.

Heck, I wouldn't even do that crap to an enemy.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

I only really know their first album Tbh

This is how I listen to .38 Special.
Greatest hits on shuffle.

Any other way and there is always a song or two missing that I would want to hear...

Of course, a lot of times that's how I listen to VanHalen.
First six albums on shuffle, always awesome!

You should also at least have Rio Grande Mud, Tejas and Fandango in the mix. Afterburner has some fun stuff too, namely Velcro Fly (which I became more of a fan of after reading the Dark Tower series).

I’ve read that series 3 times now lol, I’m a Tower Junkie 100%

That and Tres Hombres will go a long way. But as a Reverend Billy G fan, I would have to say no!

 

[Jazz Padd]

Tough call, since I only really knew their 70s stuff. Back then, still in high school, I’d tool around town in a beat up Ford Torino with some long forgotten friends. Yet, I can still recall listening to Tejas while driving, one of just a handful of cassettes, and in particular Asleep in the Desert parked in midnight on the verge of slumber, my fave ZZ Top cut.

 

[newholland]

definitely not. tres hombres and rio grande mud and zz tops first album on vinyl are really all i need- not any of the awful remasters. full first go-around analog masters, no terrible 80s sounds involved!

Oh yeah - ZZ Top’s First Album!! Brown Sugar alone is worth the listen. But a lot of other good songs on there.

You know which ZZ album i keep somehow gravitating back to?

 

[joebloggs]

Hello??? WTF...

 

[Zodiac]

This is the only ZZ Top album you need.
